La Peregrina
La Peregrina has taken five weeks to find a race since his breakthrough win at Thirsk in early August, but he appears to be in the right hands. The three-year-old won at 1m6f on that August day and has run six times since—a pattern of third, first, second, second, twelfth, and fifth that suggests inconsistency, though not without promise. He has won 1 of him 8 races overall (roughly once every eight attempts), and placed in 4 others, which puts his solidly in the learning phase that defines most young horses.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What stands out is where he does his best work. Over distances between 1m6f and 2m, La Peregrina has won 1 of 3 races (33%), a win rate that towers above his overall record and hints at a horse that needs time and galloping ground to settle into a rhythm. These longer trips suit his temperament in a way shorter races evidently do not. Ed Walker's yard at Upper Lambourn is having an excellent season with 76 winners already sent out, which means La Peregrina is training among plenty of company and resources. Walker clearly sees something worth developing in her, or she would not keep returning to the races.
The question now is whether he can string together some consistency. A horse that runs well two races in a row (as he did in his second and third starts after that first win) shows he is capable of it. With only eight races on his record, there is still considerable room for improvement, and another win at his preferred distance could be imminent.
